#AItowards2040

AI in precision medicine holds transformative potential for healthcare, enhancing care outcomes and workforce support. However, disparities in digital health adoption and in access and quality of data undermine equitable access and trust. The European Health Data Space (EHDS) and the AI Act present an unprecedented opportunity to address some of these challenges through integrative data governance (IDG). By enabling secure, equitable, and effective health data use, IDG can power AI-driven preventive care through collaborative innovation.

However, some gaps remain to tap into this potential. Key actions include establishing technical standards to promote digital autonomy, improve individual and collective consent processes for data reuse, creating governance frameworks to foster collaboration at scale, aligning different pieces of legislation as well as readiness across member states, and utilizing evidence sandboxes to enhance transparency, safeguard data quality, and protect copyright.

As the EHDS and AI Act come into force, these principles and actions can bridge clinical applications and public health, fostering equitable, anticipatory healthcare for everyone in the EU through multi-stakeholder collaboration.
